Rompin' Around!

Have you heard about the latest trend to invade stores? The romper, a hybrid between a dress and a tank top with shorts, has been popular since last year, but it's quickly gaining popularity at stores such as Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch.
They have plenty of styles that appeal to everyone, from halter to strapless, floral to striped and embellished to simple.
For those with a girly style, try HCo's Malaga Beach (now $30) or Abercrombie's Sonia in floral ($68).
More of a tomboy? Check out Avalon Place in red at Hollister ($39.50) or Abigail at A&F (now $29.89).

Petite Pick of March

Here's my Petite Pick of the month: Hollister's Grandview dress (now $29.89), Hollister's Capistrano zip-up hoodie in navy (now $29.89) and Hollister's Embellished Leather Flip-Flops in Turquoise Gem ($39.50).
The dress is cut in a flattering halter style that will enhance your bust line. The sweet plaid pattern is just enough to make your frame pop without overwhelming it.
The hoodie makes the dress seem more casual, without dressing it down too much. Its classic fit will make you look amazing!
Finally, the flip-flops really stand out with their turquoise gemstones and pull the outfit together for a cute early spring look.

All colors cost $17.50 and are available in sizes XS (6/7), S (7/8), M (8/9) and L (9/10). Grab 'em before they're gone!

Best Swimsuit for Your Body? Read On!

Though it is important to like the design and color of your swimsuit, it's more important how it looks on your frame. Some suits, while they may be the right size, don't look as good on your body because you have the wrong style.
The best styles for petites are triangle, bandeau and push-up. Triangle bikinis have adjustable tops that help enhance a smaller bust, and the bottoms are cut perfectly to show off your small legs. Bandeau styles are also great for petite girls because the ruching creates perfect curves. And of course, push-up bikinis create cleavage, something many smaller females want but don't have.
Check out Hollister's Orange County in Dark Orange (top $34.50, bottom $24.50)--the floral design also helps fill you out. Hollister also has three great push-up styles, and check out American Eagle Outfitters for cute triangle bikinis.
So this year, don't just wish for the perfect swimsuit--get the perfect swimsuit!
